Abstract
This paper deals with adsorption of Pb and Hg on the exopolysaccharide produced by Azotobacter chroococcum XU1. The adsorption of metal ions was significantly affected by the pH of metal solutions (Pb(NO 3 ) 2 and Hg(NO 3 ) 2 ), metal ions concentration and exopolysaccharide concentrations. At optimum pH the uptakes of the metals were 40.48% and 47.87 % respectively. The metal ions biosorption was high at 4, 5-5.
